Rotary Encoder - Illuminated (RGB)

Rotary encoders can be used similarly to potentiometers. The difference being that an encoder has full rotation without limits (It just goes round and round).

This is a quadrature encoder and outputs similar to 2-bit gray code so that you can tell how much and in which direction the encoder has been turned. They’re great for navigating menu screens and things like that.

This encoder is especially cool because it has a common anode RGB LED built in, as well as a push-button.

Features:

  • Switch Travel: 0.5mm
  • Shaft Diameter: 6.0mm
  • Shaft Length: 18mm
  • Vertical Through-Hole Mount
  • 24 Pulses per Rotation
  • Red/Green/Blue LED
  • Pushbutton

We also have a handy breakout board to make it even easier to install into your project and a clear plastic knob if you need a better grip on your encoder!
